The idea of a home entertainment center being confined to your home is outdated. With a readily available adapter and a few apps on your Android phone or tablet, you can stream movies, TV shows, and games from remote computers or services to any TV. This means recreating a home entertainment experience wherever you are – a friend's house, a hotel, or anywhere with a suitable flat-screen.
Enhance your movie and music selection by adding mobile apps for Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming services to your phone or tablet.
Use a Wiimote or Sixaxis controller as a remote for movies, photos, music, and games. Your Android device needs Bluetooth and must be rooted (instructions available at Lifehacker or the XDA-Developers forum). After rooting, install Wii Controller IME or Sixaxis Controller from Google Play, pair the controller, and assign button functions.
Plex streams most video and music files from your home computer. Get the Android app, download the free Plex Media Server software to your computer, and configure it to locate your media files. Create a myPlex account within the server settings, log in on your Android device, and access your computer's media instantly.
Play classic games on your TV by downloading emulators (simulations of older arcade and console systems) from SlideME or Google Play. Find compatible game files (ROMs) online (e.g., coolrom.com).
Caution: Downloading certain ROMs may infringe on copyright laws.
